Fit volunteers are needed to help out at a popular but mucky charity event in Co Antrim next month.

Cancer Focus Northern Ireland is on the hunt for energetic people to help give a helping hand at its Run Mucker Run Challenge at Kirk Road, Ballymoney, on April 11.

Cancer Focus NI’s Volunteer Coordinator Morag Chambers said: “The people taking part will be climbing eight foot wall, crawling under netting and barbed wire and running up to 10k through mud. We need fit volunteers to help out if anyone gets stuck and needs a bit of a push or a pull on their way round.

“The aim, of course, is to raise vital funds for our wonderful work supporting cancer patients in Northern Ireland.”

If you think you can spare a few hours to help out, please email moragchambers@cancerfocusni.org or call 028 9066 3281. If you’d like to take part in the event you can register at www.runmuckerrun.co.uk
